I was to be "DeeAnne" if a girl, "Dean" if a boy.

They tossed "Dean" at the last moment because my Dad's boss (very wealthy) had died just a few days before I was born, and Dad wanted to kiss up to his family, so he named me after his dead boss. It worked great, because shortly thereafter, the grieving widow sold dad his dead boss's new Lincoln for practically nothing.
